# SidePosts css background color?

 * I’d like to add a background color to the SidePosts “post” on the sidebar. Right
   now it is transparent and the text doesn’t show up against my regular background.
   Is this easy to do? What would I put in to the css file and where? I’ve been 
   poking around in it but haven’t figured it out yet.

 * Given that no one knows your site, it’s impossible to say. So a site url could
   come in quite handy about now…

 * Sorry. Didn’t think looking at the site would be handy. It is just a PTO site
   for our schools. It is at chagrinfallspto.org . I would like to use Sideposts
   to display current events on the sidebar – but nothing shows up well with the
   corkboard background image. I need to have a background for the lettering.
 * Does that help?
 * Thanks for taking the time to respond. I know it is a basic question. Any direction
   would be appreciated.

 * By “Sideposts”, I’m assuming you mean the right-hand sidebar. That theme doesn’t
   lend itself to easy editing. Try editing style.css and changing:
 *     ```
       #sidebar {
       color:#FFFFFF;
       float:right;
       font-size:14pt;
       width:200px;
       }
       ```
   
 * to
 *     ```
       #sidebar {
       background:#fff;
       color:#606060;
       float:right;
       font-size:14pt;
       width:210px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Then add:
 * `#sidebar a {color:#606060;}`
